This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Notwithstanding his conservative stance on other matters, it is hard for decent anti-racist folk (from anti-racist agnostic humanists such as myself to devout anti-racist Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Zoroastrians etc) to disagree with anti-nuclear weapons, anti-drugs, anti-war, pro-peace, anti-racism President Ahmadinejad's following statements, QUOTE: "If Christ were on earth today, undoubtedly He would stand with the people in opposition to bullying, ill-tempered and expansionist powers.

If Christ were on earth today, undoubtedly He would hoist the banner of justice and love for humanity to oppose warmongers, occupiers, terrorists and bullies the world over... Once again, I congratulate one and all on the anniversary of the birth of Jesus Christ. I pray for the New Year to be a year of happiness, prosperity, peace and brotherhood for humanity. I wish you every success and happiness."

I thought it was a beautiful message.  At least he has hope for the future and seems to indicate a willingness to bring about peace.
